Dental Implants Abroad: The Truth About Low Cost Implants

If you have missing teeth, dental implants seem like the perfect solution. But, with average prices in the UK for complete treatment to place a single implant starting around £2,500, the lure of cheap implants has seen many Brits travelling overseas for treatment. So much so that you might imagine dental implants abroad always cost less. But in reality, can you get the same low prices in the UK?

Dental implants abroad

Dental tourism is growing. In the past, cosmetic dentistry was only an option for the rich and famous. But now, with low dental prices in Europe, a celebrity smile is now within reach of the average person. For example, dental implants in Hungary or Poland can cost around £600 (implant cost only) – a third less than UK dental prices.

Hidden costs of implants abroad

Having dental implants isn’t a one-off procedure. You might need to go back to see your dentist 2 or 3 times over a few months before you walk away with your new teeth. So, on top of the low cost of the implant, you’ll pay extra money for:

  • Flights
  • Hotels
  • Time off work

And, once your treatment is over, what about aftercare? Take good care of your implants, and they can last a lifetime. But the crown attached to the implant will wear and need replacement in 3 to 10 years time. Most UK dentists will not treat work carried out by another dentist. Especially if you have treatment outside the UK, because procedures and materials used can be vastly different. So you’ll have to travel back to the same clinic or dentist overseas.

The Benefits of Dental Implants

For patients who have a missing tooth or are missing a number of teeth, dental implants offer our dentists the opportunity to provide a safe, reliable, and cosmetic long-term solution that can create or restore wonderful smiles.

Tooth loss can occur as a result of a variety of dental problems. Gum disease, infection and injury are just three of the common reasons that can cause a patient to eventually suffer tooth loss.

Dentures have long been a suitable treatment option for patients with missing teeth. Partial dentures are dental appliances which can help in cases when a fewer amount of teeth are missing, whereas full dentures can suitably replace teeth in cases where full sets are missing.

Dental implants, however, are a brilliant, hassle-free permanent solution. Not only do they have fantastic durability and will last a long time with the correct care, but they also look brilliant and feel great.

If you are looking to replace missing teeth in your smile, why not visit us for an initial consultation for dental implant treatment? To arrange your appointment, do not hesitate to contact us via the website or directly by telephone on 01582 518100.
